Forecasts

Twentysharesofgrey (11/4), Della Mare (3/1), Jack Ryan (9/2), Red Allure (10/1), Tommytwohoots (10/1), Gustav Graves (14/1), Dirchill (14/1), Crunchie (16/1), Ubahha (28/1), Koropick (28/1), Sir Hector (33/1), But You Said (40/1), Tistaahal (50/1), Loquacious Boy (80/1)

DELLA MARE showed a willing attitude to win a minor event over C&D last time and looks on a fair mark back in a handicap on that evidence. Fellow last-time-out winners Dirchill and Jack Ryan are obvious threats.
